It has been thirty years since we have been exploring alternate energy sources. Why are none in place?
Is it a conspiracy? Is it that the alternatives are not able to produce enough energy? Is it that the alternatives cause their own pollution that would be just as hard to deal with?
You have to recognize that who ever provides energy is going to make massive amounts of money. It is the one thing that every one needs.
Don’t you think if the oil companies are buying the patents for alternatives that if there was one that made money they wouldn’t market it?

We have developed alternative energy sources. Solar power, wind power, electric cars, etc. But oil is cheaper, more effective, and more reliable than those alternatives. As we run out of oil it will keep getting more expensive, and once it gets to the point where it’s more expensive than solar power, we’ll switch. People complain about oil, but it’s actually very cheap, effective, and reliable. It’s quite extraordinary. Asking for something better is unrealistic.
Nuclear power is one alternative that actually is pretty good. I think France gets like 70% of their power from nuclear energy. We should too. It’s stupid that we don’t. But the politicians won’t let us build more nuclear power plants.
